RE: Do men change when they can't hunt?
Your husband's issue really has nothing to do with hunting. Golf could just as easily be a "preoccupation." You could always do the right thing. Confront him on being an alcoholic, being depressed, that you are sick of his crap and either he dry up, get on a med such as lexapro and talk with someone/therapy, or things are done. That would be the right thing for both of you, but again it is your right to suffer in an unhappy marriage.
